The LORD will strengthen him ...
The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health. 1
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. 2
So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is ill." 3
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 4
I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 5
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 6
for "'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, "'For we are indeed his offspring.' 7
He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. 8
The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy before you and said, Destroy. 9
